As a civil engineering person, he participated in both frontline construction and combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in front of the many civil engineering students, Tu Lishan was speaking: \"The secret of war is actually the same as civil engineering—the key lies in the two words 'transportation.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just that civil engineering transports our own things to the target location.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for fighting... it's about moving the enemy's things over to our side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"War is not about how many people you can kill or how much destruction you can cause, but about how much you can bring back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at some of the top students in security departments—no matter how well they can fight, in the end they still get taken down? That's because they only know how to fight, not how to transport, and end up with nothing in old age.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some security team leaders whose positions have been passed down for four or five generations end up breaking the tradition in their generation—this can be said to be letting down their ancestors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So all of you must remember these war essentials...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan looked at Zhang Yu's avatar that had turned gray in his eye sockets and thought to himself: \"Zhang Yu... where did he go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past half month, not only had he been unable to contact Zhang Yu, he even discovered that Zhang Yu's company had been handed over to Ye Xingli for management.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And according to Yu Xinghan's understanding, the company had also not sent money to Zhang Yu for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is someone suppressing Zhang Yu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan shook his head, feeling that the whole matter was shrouded in a layer of fog, making it hard for him to see the truth clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan could only send a message to Zhang Yu once again: Are you there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan: [10 Spirit Coins]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan: If you need help, just tell me directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan: I'm online 24\u002F7 now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield being rained down by thunder and fire, Kuang Tianqing's figure flickered in and out, continuously piercing through various Dao techniques as he charged toward the research institute ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the ten major academies organized personnel and launched the expedition to Kunxu Layer 3, Kuang Tianqing signed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he really didn't want to stay on Layer 2, especially on the turf of the Heavenly Demon, Netherworld, Bliss, and White Bone academies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that if he went out here and encountered a dog demon, even it might have slept with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the past, without memories, I would stop at nothing for cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he came to Layer 3, wanting to start over here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuang Tianqing thought to himself: \"At least on the battlefield, there aren't so many messy things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a group of students from the Celestial Demon Academy also arrived in support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Mingchi, the strongest undergraduate of the Celestial Demon Academy, swept his gaze over Kuang Tianqing and immediately sent a message: Do you have time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Kuang Tianqing did not reply, Ying Mingchi couldn't help suspecting that the other party discriminated against demon descendants, otherwise why would the four demon academies be okay, but not his Celestial Demon Academy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Mingchi then spoke: Do you think there's a big gap between humans and demons?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Mingchi: Look around you—are many people really human? I see them as no different from dogs, cows, or horses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuang Tianqing: I think there's a big difference between men and women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Mingchi was slightly stunned. Looking at Kuang Tianqing, who was currently in male form, he asked doubtfully: Is there a difference?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kunxu Layer 3, outside a laboratory that had just been captured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhenzhen, Wen Wuyai, and other students from the Celestial Sword Academy were sitting together, looking at the kill manual issued by the school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teacher in front spoke: \"Your internship grades for this semester will be calculated based on your kill scores over the next two weeks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've observed that many students, when killing, still attack the opponent's weaknesses, blindly pursuing victory in battle and the destructive power of sword techniques, neglecting the gains of battle for the sake of victory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to remind everyone—we came to Layer 3 not to kill people, but to make money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the difference between them? The difference is huge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those university and community college students might do anything to beat us—whatever dirty tricks they can think of, just to win, without any regard for the consequences.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can we, the Top Ten students, act like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember this: during battle, attack the parts of your opponent that are worth the least. Make sure to leave the valuable parts intact so you can get higher profits after the fight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This murder manual introduces the prices of different body parts for ordinary Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Core Formation cultivators, as well as the market prices for various standard law-form corpses. You must review it repeatedly and memorize it by heart before tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flipping casually through the murder manual, Bai Zhenzhen saw Zhang Yu’s gray profile picture appear in her ocular relic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Yu...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Zhang Yu had been out of contact for over a month, Bai Zhenzhen still remembered what he had said the last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself: “I believe you, but I still want to help you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Bai Zhenzhen sent a message: [50 spirit coins]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhenzhen: I’ve been killing people lately and earned quite a bit\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhenzhen: Take it and use it\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhenzhen: Work hard, money is easy to come by here\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, on the battlefield of Layer 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiansheng Gong of the Immortal Soldier University was about to gather the spoils on the battlefield when he saw a notification appear in his ocular relic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A combat recorder?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiansheng Gong cursed inwardly: “From now on, when I come to Layer 3, I have to keep the combat recorder running 24\u002F7? Recording every piece of loot so the soul cultivators can tax it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t this just not trusting us, thinking we’ll grab stuff randomly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even as he grumbled, Tiansheng Gong still followed the notification and activated the combat recorder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to collect all the supplies on the battlefield before him, he felt an immense force descend from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gigantic dragon swept across the battlefield, and all sorts of supplies shot into the air, surging toward the clouds under the dragon’s claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Tiansheng Gong exclaimed: “Cangshi Divine Lord of the Sky Demon University?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She stole our spoils?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, and she’s even grabbing things from Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Tiansheng Gong was far from Cangshi Divine Lord, the female dragon still heard his words and a look of disdain appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nonsense. How much energy do I waste on a trip to Layer 3? How could I not leave fully loaded?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the load data displayed in her ocular relic was still at 298.8%, Cangshi Divine Lord swept her dragon eyes around and immediately decided to add a bit more burden to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With my strength, being triple overweight is no problem—I can still take a little more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spotting a group of Qi Refining students in the distance picking through trash, she reached out with her dragon claw and snatched up the entire pile of rubbish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Make money! Make money! Make money!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get rich! Get rich! Get rich!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the fiery spirit of his juniors and sisters before him, Shi Huaiyu nodded inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Layer 2 had gradually run out of profit because of the war; even fighting could mean losses, so everyone avoided battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, as more and more people earned money during expeditions to Layer 3, the number of volunteers for battle had increased. Almost every student from the Top Ten Universities eagerly signed up, wanting nothing more than to legally loot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Huaiyu reminded the juniors before him: “Remember, after you’ve killed people and grabbed stuff, don’t forget to pay taxes. War tax, plunder tax, life-risking tax—missing even one means a huge fine that will leave you with no money to grab anything ever again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One student couldn’t help but ask: “We have to pay taxes for risking our lives? And aren’t the gods gone now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Huaiyu said coldly: “The gods have disappeared, so naturally the schools are collecting in their place now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, after finishing his talk with the juniors, Shi Huaiyu looked back at Zhang Yu’s name in his contact list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Yu hasn't appeared for two months now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Huaiyu thought to herself: \"Could those rumors be true? Did the principal steal Zhang Yu's immortal cultivation technique and is now suppressing him, hiding him away?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Huaiyu let out a sigh, and recalled Zhang Yu's words about going into seclusion for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she decided to trust Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Huaiyu: [5 spirit coins]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Huaiyu: Zhang Yu, keep cultivating hard, we'll wait for you to return\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jingang University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingmu Shenjun, who had already been waiting in the reception room for several hours, shifted his gaze, knowing that the person he had been waiting for so long had finally arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhipan Shenjun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the divine light before him, Qingmu Shenjun smiled slightly and said, \"You've made me search high and low.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhipan Shenjun said indifferently, \"Qingmu, I told you I don't have time to mess around with some Nascent Soul.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if you beg me for another ten years, it won't work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingmu Shenjun gave a bitter laugh, bowed, and said, \"Do me a favor, Zhipan. Just do it for my sake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What 'sake' do you have?\" Zhipan Shenjun said coldly. \"If it weren't for Ciji, do you think I'd come to see you? Even Ciji himself—how much energy does he have left to bother with this trivial mess?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingmu Shenjun still wore a smile as he said, \"I've prepared the materials and fees for you. Consider me owing you a favor. If there's anything you need in the future, you can always come to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhipan Shenjun said, \"There are plenty of people who can concoct a Nascent Soul. Why do you have to seek out a Divine Transformation cultivator to do this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingmu Shenjun sighed and said, \"You are the number one Nascent Soul concoction master in the ten schools. Coming to you, naturally I want to obtain the strongest Nascent Soul I can find.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhipan Shenjun said, \"Qingmu, I'm getting more and more curious... just what kind of person is about to break through to Nascent Soul, making you swallow your pride and come begging me like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingmu Shenjun: \"Then shall I take that as your agreement?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhipan Shenjun said, \"After it's done, you will do three things for me for free.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield of Kunxu Layer 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuelian casually brushed aside her long silver hair flowing in the wind and looked over at Xinghuo Zhenren—or rather, Xinghuo Zhenjun—who was sitting on the ground and had already advanced to Nascent Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuelian spoke, \"Dad, there seems to be a problem up ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xinghuo Zhenjun looked at the fortress emitting layers of distorted ripples and said, \"Mm, it's a spatial seal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed, \"The enemy has started scorched-earth tactics, setting up spatial seals around each stronghold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder they've been turtling up and giving up large areas for over three months—they were probably waiting for a breakthrough in immortal technology.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the attacking forces from the Ten Greats can't break through it, they'll probably fall into a disadvantage again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1990,"2026-05-29T04:55:10.865Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","0b862e0e140ede66cd581bb03bb9883a3e6d49d95b8ccbd663a08f53d70a42a9","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-677","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-675",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
